A police matter? What a joke.
How do you know Hamas did this? Come on, there was no investigation, just throwing blame at an easy target. It could have been Israeli settlers that had a score to settle against these 3 for all we know. But Israel, goes for the easy answer, blames Hamas and starts demolishing Palestinian homes, again.... without investigation.

Don't believe me? Maybe my "racist" news source, Reuters can clarify:

You might not like the way Israel is dealing with their conflict with the Palestinians, but this is over the top. The Palestinians, although victims, hardly live as less than human. They actually have one of the highest standards of living within the Arab world.

Back on topic. Israel is not launching bombs. They know the names of the individuals responsible for the kidnapping/murder. They are being anything but indiscriminate here.
I can get behind some of this, but not the bolded part. Palestinian territories have the second lowest Human Development Index in the Arab world. By all accounts, Palestinians are forced to live in below standard conditions because of the Israeli occupation.
